Electrical Enclosures

Shop electrical enclosures at RS Electrical Supplies. Electrical enclosures are protective housings used to contain, protect, and organise electrical components, terminals, junction points, and wiring — safeguarding them from dust, moisture, impact, and accidental contact. Suitable for domestic, commercial, and industrial applications both indoors and outdoors. We stock enclosures in a range of materials, sizes, and IP ratings to suit all installation requirements.

Enclosure Types Available

• Insulated ABS enclosures — lightweight, corrosion-resistant plastic enclosures for general electrical and electronic applications
• Steel enclosures — robust metal enclosures for industrial and commercial installations requiring mechanical protection
• Stainless steel enclosures — for corrosive environments, food processing, and outdoor installations requiring maximum durability
• Metal adaptable knockout boxes — galvanised steel adaptable boxes for housing junction points and cable terminations in surface wiring installations
• PVC weatherproof boxes — IP-rated plastic enclosures for outdoor and exposed locations
• Enclosure accessories — mounting plates, DIN rails, cable glands, and fixings for enclosure fit-out
• Two-component silicone gel — for potting and sealing electrical connections within enclosures

IP Ratings

Enclosures are rated by their level of ingress protection — IP54 and above for outdoor use, IP65 and above for dust-tight and water jet resistant applications, and IP67 or higher for submersion-resistant installations. Always select an enclosure with an IP rating appropriate for the installation environment.
